A very well run tour . The guide Rishi took time to show us the temple , kitchen and secret rooms. The tour said 2/3 hours but lasted only 2 and we didn't walk around the whole temple . Another 15 minutes walking the whole way round would have been better. But that aside the guide and booking process was exceptional.Thankyou Rishi

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for the generous 5-star rating. We’re very pleased you enjoyed the overall experience and appreciated the time spent exploring the Temple complex in depth.
We understand that when a place is as fascinating as this, it’s natural to want even more time to take it all in. While the visit duration can vary slightly depending on flow and crowd conditions, we always aim to ensure the experience feels meaningful rather than rushed.
We truly appreciate your kind words about the guidance and booking process — it means a great deal. Thank you again for choosing us.
Warm regards,
Team Travel India With Peace

Rishi was wonderful - in a word. He was proactive and clear in his communication which was a huge plus for me as it was my first to Amritsar. He gave valuable recommendations such as changing our tour time to 9:00am, which we followed, that gave us great weather and minimal crowds. The tour took us to the parts of the temple complex unknown to even my sikh friends. I wish the tour actually included a visit harminder sahib (the actual temple within the complez). My guess is that due to waiting time unpredictability - none of the tour has that. sensing our wish to do that - Rishi guided us in a way that we could do it on our own.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful reflection on your time with us. We’re really glad the guidance and planning helped make your first visit feel more comfortable and well-timed. It’s especially nice to know that the experience added new layers of understanding, even for those already familiar with the place. We also appreciate your understanding around the practical realities of visiting the sanctum and are happy it was still possible for you to do so at your own pace.
Thank you once again for choosing us, and we hope Amritsar stays with you long after the journey 🌸

Deepak was our guide, he is knowledgeable & passionate about Amritsar & the Golden
temple. A real pleasure to take the tour with him. The Golden temple is remarkable & not to be missed.
Having a great guide brings the temple to life & you gain so much more from your visit. It's worth paying more to enjoy a personal
tour.

My husband and I had the most amazing experience with Ravish Mehra our tour guide.
Ravish was so knowledgeable and so informative in describing not only facts about the Golden Temple but so much more about the Punjab. and Amritsar.
He gave us so much of his time and informed us of safe eating places, showed us the Partition museum an absolute must in understanding the significances of the Partition in India and the impact of Independence.
Ravish looked after us so well and we had the joy of seeing the Temple in daylight and also at night after the tour at the Border a truly magical experience. We learnt so much about India in the most amazing day. During the day we needed a snack and he took care in recommending a safe place to eat where we had an fantastic snack!
We cannot recommend Ravish highly enough and will trust anyone will have the most amazing experience with him as he imparts so much knowledge and is so helpful with any requests. He advised us on the most amazing place to eat where we had a fabulous local meal. My husband and I felt we had made a true friend and look forward to showing him London if ever he visits. Please request Ravish if doing this tour an absolute must!

Raj was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, answering all questions we had. His English was without fault. And he went out of his way to assist us. Even waiting with us until our taxi arrived. Raj showed us hidden gems in the area and explained everything thoroughly in an easy to understand way. A wonderful company and tour. Will be using again.
